  2. Pauli exclusion principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauli_exclusion_principle

    The Pauli exclusion principle helps explain a wide variety of physical phenomena. One particularly important consequence of the principle is the elaborate electron shell structure of atoms and the way atoms share electrons, explaining the variety of chemical elements and their chemical combinations.

  3. Stability of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_of_matter

    The first solution to this problem was provided by Freeman Dyson and Andrew Lenard in 1967–1968, [1] [2] but a shorter and more conceptual proof was found later by Elliott Lieb and Walter Thirring in 1975 using the Lieb–Thirring inequality. [3] The stability of matter is partly due to the uncertainty principle and the Pauli exclusion ...

  4. Exchange interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_interaction

    The spin–statistics theorem of quantum field theory demands that all particles with half-integer spin behave as fermions and all particles with integer spin behave as bosons. Multiple bosons may occupy the same quantum state; however, by the Pauli exclusion principle, no two fermions can occupy the same state

  5. Slater determinant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slater_determinant

    It satisfies anti-symmetry requirements, and consequently the Pauli principle, by changing sign upon exchange of two fermions. [1] Only a small subset of all possible many-body fermionic wave functions can be written as a single Slater determinant, but those form an important and useful subset because of their simplicity.

  6. Wolfgang Pauli - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Pauli

    Pauli introduced the 2×2 Pauli matrices as a basis of spin operators, thus solving the nonrelativistic theory of spin. This work, including the Pauli equation , is sometimes said to have influenced Paul Dirac in his creation of the Dirac equation for the relativistic electron, though Dirac said that he invented these same matrices himself ...

  7. Pauli matrices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauli_matrices

    Wolfgang Pauli (1900–1958), c. 1924. Pauli received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1945, nominated by Albert Einstein, for the Pauli exclusion principle.. In mathematical physics and mathematics, the Pauli matrices are a set of three 2 × 2 complex matrices that are traceless, Hermitian, involutory and unitary.

  8. Category:Pauli exclusion principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pauli_exclusion...

    The Pauli exclusion principle is the quantum mechanical principle that states that two identical fermions (particles with half-integer spin) cannot occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. Subcategories

  9. Nuclear shell model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_shell_model

    For example, 1f2p has 20 nucleons, and spin–orbit coupling adds 1g9/2 (10 nucleons), leading to a new shell with 30 nucleons. 1g2d3s has 30 nucleons, and adding intruder 1h11/2 (12 nucleons) yields a new shell size of 42, and so on. The magic numbers are then 2 8 = 2 + 6 20 = 2 + 6 + 12 28 = 2 + 6 + 12 + 8 50 = 2 + 6 + 12 + 8 + 22 82 = 2 + 6 ...
